Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
ThiefHott Too much of everything
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
ghaschalk I really can't believe why so many people don't see the point in this movie. This type of thing happens all the time, there are people getting cyberbullied very often. It may not be the same exact situation as in the movie, and it probably isn't, but that doesn't mean that it, "should be thrown in a furnace," some dumbass said. While the quality of the movie overall could be better, the point still gets put out there. Yes, these things happen, and there have been stories of it. Ever heard of Amanda Todd? This happened to her, expect she actually was able to finish committing suicide, and not only that, but it was REAL. Even though the situations are different, it doesn't mean the point isn't there. It's messed up, big time, and the fact that people could actually laugh at this, surprises me, and shocks me. Apparently her trying to open the bottle of pills to overdose was funny, "because she couldn't open it." I don't want to imagine what it's like to have 95% of the people in your life after you and attacking you, verbally. She was in an insane amount of pain and was extremely scared. It's hard to even explain it, she obviously wasn't going to have an easy time doing it. Yes, the movie does have flaws, and the plot can be weird and directed towards ways that would be convenient.In the end, I do think it was too much of a happy ending, and how Samantha and Taylor were all cool again, but someone said that they had harassed Lindsay. They didn't harass her, they STOOD UP against her. The first thing Taylor says is that she should stop what she was doing and realize that her words were hurting people, and then other people that had also been harassed stood up against her. Samantha says to ignore her beforehand, but Taylor says I'm done ignoring them, and she stood up for them. This is a very good example, and I hope that people got that message.Some areas of the movie were iffy, and there were a few bad messages, but there was also quite a few good messages. I don't think it's bad to the point of giving it a 1, because the acting was actually great. Someone mentioned that it was terrible and only the acting of Taylor was, "passable". I found this funny, because she did a very good job in my opinion.Hope you have a good rest of your day.
cosmopath As many fellow IMDb users have said, this film shows cyberbullying in a completely unrealistic and over-exaggerated way. The entire concept of the movie is laughable. The acting is dreadful. It fits into almost every modern cliché.Only reason this monstrosity doesn't get a 1 is due to its reasonable moral that it attempts to teach, and it has apparently done its job to some extent. Overall, there are much better films that successfully grasp the concept of online bullying. If your intent is to teach others or learn yourself about the consequences of cyberbullying through film, look elsewhere immediately. If you want a good movie to laugh at, this is a good choice.
emirsejdinovic A young teenage girl is cyberbullied by her "friend" through a social website called Cliquesters.The movie, "Cyberbully" was produced by Jesse Prupas on July 17, 2011. Taylor Hillridge gets a laptop for her seventeenth birthday by her mom. She then goes on the social media all the kids have called "Cliquesters". She is later asked out to a dance by her friend Samantha's ex. Samantha does not like this, so she now shows a hatred towards Taylor. Taylor then is catfished by someone in the school and she gets embarrassed, and is now a victim of cyberbullying. Taylor later on becomes depressed and doesn't want to go to school anymore.When Taylor was in the cafeteria all the kids were looking at her, and the camera movements were going fast, pointing at her and other people. It showed the intensity of the scene. Also throughout the movie when Taylor is wanting to overdose, the music is sad and very emotional.The effect of what cyberbullying causes to people. For example, Taylor wants to overdose because of all the bullying shes been going through and the depression shes been having. It was achieved throughout the movie.Overall, this movie was very good, but it had some downfalls, such as the antagonists had no clear motive.
sleepdreamawake Not sure if my review actually contains any "spoilers" but, just in case... I wasn't very satisfied with the way the characters chose to deal with the situations. I felt like I was watching a very cheesy version of what would happen in real life. It was frustrating to watch so many people not stand up for themselves or others. There are quite a few people who I felt genuinely needed their ass kicked or needed some kind of intelligent karmatic revenge served to them, but were instead dealt with very silently or not at all. The reactions from a lot of the characters were very weak and poorly performed. Overall the movie left me feeling like justice hadn't truly been served and just makes me want to slap some bitches.
